A Mothers Crime.

Valcay Cabalek is a well-to-do carpenter
living near Cleveland, Ohio. The other
morning he and his eldest son went to
work shortly before O'Clock. The moth
err, Antoinette, had been out of temper at
the breakfast table and had refused TO talk
to her husband. Directly after breakfast
she sent Henry, her l5-year-old son, to
grocery near by and still another son to a
milk depot. When they returned they
could not get into the house. Going into
the back yard, they saw James, IL years
old, in an clubhouse bleeding from sixteen
wounds in his left side. They called their
brother, who had gone off with their faith
err, and returning, the three boys forced an
entrance TO the house. They discovered
Tony, an S-year-old girl. bleeding from a
dozen cuts in her left side. On the floor
near by were Mamie, years old Antoin-
cite, 3-years-old, and Willie three months
DID, all dead from dreadful stabs near the
heart. A bloody pair of shears told the
story. A hunt was made for the mother.
She was found in the cellar hanging from
a raft, dead. She had killed her three chill
dren, mortally injured two others, and
had then suicided. The two children who
were still alive were removed to neigh
boris house, but died in few hours. The
husband does not think his wife was insane.
A Pinkerton Murder.
A party of boys were playing in an open
| lot adjoining the yards Of the Delaware,
| Lackawanna a. Western railroad COM
ing the Pinkerton men who were stationed
| in the company's yard TO protect proper
| ty. Occasionally they rained shower OF
snow balls and other missiles upon the
men. Near by n crowd OF strikers and
| their sympathiZers were assembled and
| they lent encouragement to the boys. At
! length the leader of the Pinkerton men
stepped out and ordered the boys to stop
| throwing missiles at them. The boys did
| not obey and almost Immediately three
| "a a n n
boy named Hogan fell dead, his head
| pierced by bullet. Three of the Pinker-
| ton men were arrested and taken to the
station house to await an examination.
Rumors Of War.
Rumors of war are becoming more and
| more frequent. The North German Gazette,
the National Gazette, and the Cologne
| Gazette, as well as the Times, Standard and
| Daily Ners OF London, all report that
France is making elaborate preparations
| TO dispatch TO the German frontier strong
| reinforcements OF arms.
An inspired letter from Berlin says
I'm government circles here the situation
is regarded MS serious. The peaceful tone
of the French press is not assuring, as it is
! evident the papers have been ordered Off
cially to adopt peaceful attitude. There
can be no question that France is prepar-
! ing military camps on the German from
| tier. 1t remains to be seen whether q
plausible reason can be given for this.
Mrs. Grants Tribute.
Mrs. Grant has added to the Grant monu-
| ment fund $9S250 in the form of two checks
audited by the treasury department in
favor of her late husband. Last year the
one for 1920 arrears was found to be due
Gen. Grant under the old Mexican war pay
acts. The other for $500. 80 was the balance
due the general on his salary from July ],
1885, to the time Of his death, July %, 1885.
Mrs Grant feels that the money is too sacred
to be used in any other way than rs an
offering toward the building of q monu-
ment of her late husband.
